Blue Ridge Parkway question

Hi all,
My family and I are considering escaping for the week Dec 29th and heading from Sunny Florida up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I know most folks come our way for the winter, but being native Floridians, we would like to head a little north to perhaps do a little cold weather camping or have a snow ball fight with the kids. My question is this, we have a 35’ Gorgie Boy Class A. I did a little searching on line and am finding many of the campgrounds along the parkway are closed for the season that time of year. Has anyone driven the parkway this time of year? Are their open campgrounds that we can find to accommodate our rig? Of course if there is bad weather we would follow common sense and stay off the Parkway. Just looking for some reassurance that this trip is doable at the end of December. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Be aware that a "nearby" campground on the map may be down in the valley requiring a long winding descent and then a climb back up the next morning.

We have traveled the Parkway and the Skyway during the Winter months. Not knowing your schedule it is hard to pick exact RV parks but if you do a search for RV parks near the communities at the various exits you will find several RV parks that are open during the Winter. rvparkreviews.com is a good place to research.
I think you will find more RV parks open than closed. A lot has to do with the fact that many RV parks have a large number of "permanent" residents due to the economy.
